I'm running Ableton Live 8, and I've got a few Live Packs that have given me some nice presets for Ableton's Impulse drum machine plugin. However, I prefer their Drum Rack feature (due to the easy method of effecting individual drum suonds) and would like to use the same sounds in a Drum Rack instead of in Impulse. Impulse slots just point to samples, and so in theory if I knew where the samples are, I could load them up into Drum Racks by hand. But I haven't found a way to do this.

Given a particular Impulse preset in Ableton Live, is there any way to list or find the samples that are used within it?

If you hover the mouse over the sample's slot in Impulse, the status bar at the bottom of the screen will show the path to the sample.

Additionally, the hot-swap button for that slot (the button in the lower-right) will open the Ableton Browser and highlight that sample in the Library.
